Ruth needs some new options and another beer. Tony needs to shut up and participate. Don needs the upper hand and a curry-flavored condom. Edie needs a little whiskey and a couple of signatures. And they all need more courage than they could ever have imagined. In the American Premiere of this beautiful, joyous, and heartbreaking play, the impossible is possible, the beginning is just the beginning, and "a kiss is still a kiss."

A Laugh-Out-Loud Look at Life
KISS ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT at Portland, Oregon’s Third Rail Repertory Theatre is a must-see if you’re looking for whimsical, rowdy entertainment with a healthy dose of reality. - Pop Culture World News Third Rail Gets Sentimental
This is a play about capital-L Love, as defined by Hollywood; the kind that snares you the first time you set eyes on a girl and doesn't let go for the rest of your life. - Portland Mercury Third Rail Nails It
The set is elaborate and the props and costuming are spot-on, but it is beyond a doubt Lighting Designer Don Crossley who most contributes to the production's realism with outstanding recreations of moonlight and dawn. Perhaps Portland's most talented lighting designer, Crossley very much belongs on Third Rail's star team. - PSU Vanguard Kiss Me Like You Mean It
Happily, regretfully, promisingly, it's a moonstruck sort of night. - The Oregonian |
